LI 863 Historical Research
What historical figure do you look up to for inspiration? For me, it will always be Susan B. Anthony. Sue B. was a confident woman who believed in women’s rights and openned more than just the doors to the voting booth, she inspired women to stand up for intellectual freedom. To see who else changed history look through this annotated bibliography.

I make the most out of conferences by doing more than attending presentations, I present too! This practice offers me many opportunities to make new connections and show people what I am made of. Presenting also breaks the ice when approaching possible employers…so remember to bring your resumes.

Libraries Connecting Communities
Technology has changed the library’s role in the community. Libraries are more than a place to find a favorite book, it has become a safe place for people of all backgrounds to gather information and share ideas. A community meeting ground that symbolizes the importance of education and collaboration, patrons are connecting to educational software, blogging with others in the community and linking to other communities. Libraries have created educational opportunities for children, young adults and adults. Children can try out a variety of software to enhance their reading skills. Young adults can use educational software such as Starry Night Back Yard for homework ideas and adults also have the opportunity to test out the latest software like Google Earth. Services include links to community training events, websites helping disadvantaged children and genealogy research. Libraries also offer patrons a chance to connect to the community and sharing information through the library blog. Libraries are connecting communities by using the information highway.

Organization of Information
One of the best tools for a librarian to have under their belt is understanding the organization of information. Librarians learn that information is only considered valuable when it can be studied and shared with others. Thus accessibility can only happen when information is organized into manageable and cohesive pieces so that it is easily retrievable. However, these manageable pieces can be organized in a variety of ways and it is up to the librarians to stay abreast of the latest organizational strategies. This poster session means to address a variety of organizational techniques that are found both electronically and print in catalogs, databases, archival arrangement, subject headings, and other print sources.
